My new adult female Orchid

[papilio_]

I just bought an adult female Orchid mantis for my male ... she's at least twice his length and looks to be about ten times the body mass!

Orchids have such a unique sheen. It's hard to capture accurately but you did a great job. Hope you get her mated!

Thanks a lot Precarious! Waking up to a bunch of dangling Orchid nymphs like in your video would be a great treat!!

Nice photos!!

Thank you Sticky!
